The Parents Association and Mr. Culliney organised a comprehensive Careers Night for Leaving Certificate students on Thursday, 5th March. Svetlana Cvetic (5th Year) and Ciaran O'Byrne (6th Year) comment on their experience of the evening.
Stratford College's Career evening was held on Thursday, 5th March. A good number of very varied contributors attended and gave 5th and 6th year students a unique insight into their individual career trajectories since leaving school. It also offered students a very good and realistic insight into a variety of different careers. Excellent food for thought overall.
Mr. Culliney

"I found the evening very informative. It was interesting to meet different people from different walks of life and I left inspired and full of ideas for my future." Svetlana Cvetic (5th Year)

The TY Horticulture class were out in the Autumn sunshine planting Spring bulbs using the chaos planting method. This is when a multitude of different spring bulbs (Hyacinths, Daffodils, Tulips, Crocuses, Narcissi) are mixed together and randomly planted so that we have a mixture of flowers and patterns emerging in the spring. It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
